指环王与哲学
超人的力量能被用来从善,还是常常会诱惑人,从而导致恶果?自然会起而反抗技术吗?长生不老本是令人讨厌的负担? 托尔金引入胜的史诗《指环王》所提出的扰人问题还有很多。托尔金希望,他的故事可以帮助变得更善良。他有意识地从神话、宗教和哲学思辨中选择了一些最麻烦、最具争议的主题。 巴沙姆和布朗森教授召集了一批既富哲学素养,又熟知中土之事的学者,来研究《指环王》所提出的这些令人着迷的问题。对这部我们时代最宏伟的传奇。大家的目的是要求得更真的理解。 希望本书不仅能帮助您理解一些《指环王》里饶有深意的深层问题,还能激发起您对一些亘古而常青的哲学问题的兴趣。 -
The Hobbit
A new B-format paperback edition commemorating 75 years since the original publication of The Hobbit. Bilbo Baggins enjoys a quiet and contented life, with no desire to travel far from the comforts of home; then one day the wizard Gandalf and a band of dwarves arrive unexpectedly and enlist his services – as a burglar – on a dangerous expedition to raid the treasure-hoard of Smaug the dragon. Bilbo’s life is never to be the same again. The Hobbit became an instant success when it was first published in 1937, and 75 years later Tolkien’s epic tale of elves, dwarves, trolls, goblins, myth, magic and adventure, with its reluctant hero Bilbo Baggins, has lost none of its appeal. -
The Silmarillion
The popular paperback edition with a cover design by Tolkien himself, to complement the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings paperbacks. Includes a special preface by J.R.R. Tolkien. The Silmarillion is an account of the Elder Days, of the First Age of Tolkien's world. It is the ancient drama to which the characters in The Lord of the Rings look back, and in whose events some of them such as Elrond and Galadriel took part. The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-Earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor. Included in the book are several shorter works. The Ainulindale is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The Akallabeth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Numenor at the end of the Second Age and Of the Rings of Power tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age, as narrated in The Lord of the Rings. -
